A 35-year-old man is charged in Belfast with offences under the Explosives Act and the Firearms Order after police searched properties in parts of the city. The charge sheet includes two counts of possessing explosives under suspicious circumstances and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Different outlets frame the case around the same arrests and legal provisions, with emphasis on the policing activity and the places where searches took place. The Guardian specifies the Shankill Road and Edwina Street areas and describes the prohibited weapon charge as discharge of electricity or noxious gas. Sky News and the Irish Mirror focus more generally on the fact that searches led to the charge and that the man will be due to appear in court.
